Where Are Dawn of War Save Files Located?
Dawn of War keeps player profiles and saves in the install tree, fully shared across all expansions.
Last updated
Dawn of War stores saves in Profiles folders inside the install directory, with screenshots and playback replays beside them and Local.ini config at the root. Each expansion keeps its own Profiles tree, so complete collections need several folders.
Retail, Steam and GOG builds share the format once fully patched, which makes migrations painless across stores. Copy Profiles whole with the game closed, one expansion tree at a time. Linux library installs mirror the same install-relative tree. Copy Profiles whole with the game closed.
Where Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War stores this, by platform
<install>\Profiles
Per-profile saves plus screenshots and replays in each install tree. Expansions keep separate trees. Retail, Steam and GOG formats match when patched; copy Profiles whole.
<Steam library>/common/<Dawn of War install>/Profiles
Same install-relative Profiles in the native Linux game folder. Find it via Steam (Manage > Browse local files) rather than guessing the folder name.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Dawn of War campaigns to a new PC?
Copy the Profiles folders from each install. Base game, Winter Assault, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm each keep their own tree, and campaigns read only their own. Anniversary bundles merge them under one roof.
Do retail and Steam Dawn of War saves mix?
Yes. Fully patched retail, Steam and GOG builds read the same profile format, so folders move freely between them. Match expansion states; a Soulstorm profile means nothing to the base game.
